Office Manager (Geotechnical, Environmental & CMT)

Office Manager - Engineering Consulting (Geotechnical, Environmental & Materials)

Tallahassee, FL

An established and rapidly growing engineering consulting firm with a strong presence across the whole country is seeking an Office Manager to lead its Tallahassee operations. This is a key leadership opportunity for a technically grounded professional with strong business acumen and a passion for developing people, projects, and clients.

The ideal candidate will bring a blend of technical expertise, business development drive, and operational leadership - someone equally comfortable managing P&L performance as they are engaging clients or mentoring teams.

About the Role

As Office Manager, you'll oversee a multidisciplinary consulting office delivering geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing services across North-West Florida. The role combines strategic leadership with hands-on oversight of technical operations, safety, quality, and client relationships.

You'll manage a team of approximately 35-40 professionals and directly supervise department managers, business development staff, and administrative support. The office is poised for continued growth and success, supported by strong regional resources and a collaborative leadership culture.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations, including project management, staff leadership, safety, and financial performance.
• Drive business development efforts, strengthening client relationships and expanding service offerings.
• Oversee and support department managers across multiple disciplines.
• Ensure quality and safety standards are met across all operations.
• Prepare and manage annual business plans, budgets, and staffing projections.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and professional growth.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, environmental science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 10 years of progressive experience in consulting, ideally across geotechnical, environmental, or construction materials testing. One of these is enough, but not preferred.
• Proven business development and P&L management experience.
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
• Safety-focused mindset with a record of operational excellence.
• PE or PG license not required, but preferred.

Why Join

This is an opportunity to lead an established, growing office within a nationally recognized consulting organization known for its technical excellence, employee ownership, and commitment to client success. You'll have the autonomy to shape strategy, build relationships, and drive results - all while being supported by a collaborative regional team.

Competitive compensation, annual performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits are offered.
